The Centre follows the daily grind at St Bartholomew’s Community Centre in the heart of Fieldstown, County Dublin, a grim local authority housing estate once voted the third least desirable place to live in Ireland after the puffin colony on Skelling rock and Carlow.

We join the staff in the six week run up to the annual Fieldstown Community Week Programme as recently appointed Centre Manager Teresa Mannion (Helen O’Brien), struggles to supervise a gaggle of oddballs.

Her world is turned upside down by the arrival of glamorous murder suspect, Amanda Menton (Yasmine Akram).

Amanda is Fieldstown’s only local celebrity, having been accused of the murder of her lover, infamous west Dublin gym boss and gangster Max ‘The Mandroid’ Murphy.

Meanwhile Community Service youth workers Vinnie Corcoran (Johnny Ward) and Maggie Brennan (Hilary Rose) are paying their debt to society by working for free at The Centre.

Moone Boy

It’s the grand finale of the second series with Dessie and Fidelma’s wedding day finally here.

It’s St Patrick’s Day in Co Roscommon but the Moone family are up the walls with Fidelma’s big day.

Although things get off to a disastrous start thanks to a combination of Martin, a bowl of Coco Pops and the bride’s all-important dress.

And when that disaster is finally averted, a second one appears in the shape of the heavily pregnant bride’s baby, who decides to appear right in the middle of the ceremony.

The third series of the show was filmed last year so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long until it hits screens.

Show star and creator Chris O’Dowd said he had written a part specifically for legendary Limerick-born broadcaster Terry Wogan.

Moone Boy is co-produced by comedian Steve Coogan’s Babycow firm. He has also appeared in the show, in which O’Dowd plays Sean who is the imaginary friend of 12-year-old Martin Moone, played by David Rawle.

Drama:

The Widower, ITV, 9.00pm

The Widower

Reece Shearsmith’s chilling portrayal of real-life killer Malcolm Webster is very good at revealing both sides of this mild- mannered monster.

But it’s a mystery how he escaped detection for so long if his methods were really this unsubtle and his deceptions so very blatant.

Having already murdered his first wife Claire, tonight’s episode opens in New Zealand, where he’s attempting to finish off wife number two, and her parents, by burning down the house while they sleep.

And by the episode’s end he has returned to Scotland and is aggressively wooing the woman he hopes to make wife number three (played by The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi).

And Stacey is free too, as Janine has decided to drop the charges against her – just like that!

Now there’s no reason for Stacey not to stay in Walford – but she’s got a lot of fences to mend and people to apologise to – and she’s making some big plans for her future that are every bit as unexpected as Friday’s verdict.

Coronation Street, TV3, 7.30pm and 8.30pm

Most people would be a bit startled to come home and find Les Dennis in their kitchen, but Gail is traumatised to see him there pretending to be the gas man.

This is a much less convincing impersonation than Les Dennis’s Mavis Riley impression ever was and Gail quickly twigs that he’s actually a burglar.

It’s a memorable introduction to Les’s new character Michael. He scarpers tonight – but he’ll be back.
